The Way of the Center

　　 Duncan missed his hook! ? An Jie hurriedly looked up at the big screen. Yes, 104 was 103. The Thunder had one point more than the Spurs. Duncan did not make a hook. What does it mean? This means they actually defeated the mighty San Antonio Spurs!

　　 Anjie was just inexplicably excited at the moment, he suddenly laughed, and turned to look at his teammate, Westbrook had already ran towards him.

　　 "You really have your peace!" Westbrook hugged An Jie. It was with the tenacious defense of these two 08 rookies at the last moment that the Thunder were able to crush the Spurs' hope of victory in one fell swoop.

　　 Unexpectedly, the culprit who eliminated the Cyclone team in college before, is now an effective teammate who defeated the powerful enemy with An Jie!

"We have won the Spurs!?" Anjie still couldn't believe this fact. San Antonio Spurs, the name itself can be equated with greatness, and Ginobili and Duncan are undoubtedly in this great system. The greatest member. It was such an opponent who failed to end the game when facing Westbrook and Anjie's defense.

　　 is different from the ecstatic Thunder teenager. After the game, Duncan's expression on the failed lore returned to calm. What ups and downs did he experience with the Spurs? This is just a small loss in the regular season. Not only Duncan, but Vicki and Ginobili did not show much emotional fluctuations. There are as many as 82 games in the regular season. If they have to suffer every time they fail, then these old guys will really go crazy.

"Let's go, Tim, I hate playing against young people the most. It makes me enviable." Ginobili patted Duncan on the back with his hips akimbo, exhausting Anjie and the others. These two The old man is even more exhausted. The speed of the Thunder's No. 0 guard is really beyond the reach of Ginobili.

　　 "There is another opponent in the West." Duncan was right. Don't look at the bottom of the current Thunder ranking, but in a long career, the Thunder is bound to grow into a major obstacle in his career.

　　 "Let's go Manu, don't let the old man wait in a hurry." Duncan helped Ginobili's shoulder and walked into the dressing room. Now that the outcome is a thing of the past, they are more concerned about Tony Parker's injury.

　　 "Charles, you said this game would be boring before the game, how do you explain it now?" Kenny Smith will not let go of any chance to take Barkley.

　　 "Would it not be for the French to get a chance after retiring from the Thunder due to injury? I didn't know that Parker would be injured before the game." Barkley's current performance in Chinese is "the duck is dead and hard-mouthed."

"There has never been a lack of people to be touted, but there are really not many people who can pass the Spurs level." Reggie Miller has only now eased from the exciting duel between the two sides, with the influx of outstanding young people. Enter, maybe it will really change hands in a few years.

　　 "Oh, didn't you just play better in the last few minutes, don't you forget how boring the first 40 minutes was?" Barkley loves to sing against these two partners.

　　 After the game, the three young people of the Thunder were enthusiastically rounded up by reporters and defeated the Spurs in a nationally broadcast game. This really gave the three Thunder a big enough stage.

　　 At this moment, the thunder three young masters are like the colorful riverside trail not far from the center, becoming the brightest rainbow in the league.

　　 "Ann, do you know how many points you scored in this game?" A blonde female reporter held An Jie from the sidelines and looked at the big Chinese man with a smile on her face.

　　 "I don't know, it shouldn't be much, maybe there are more rebounds." An Jie was sweating profusely, but there was no fatigue. On the contrary, his face was full of smiles.

　　 "24 points! Congratulations, you got a career-high 24 points!"

　　 "Oh, that's a lot." An Jie was surprised. When the camera was shooting An Jie, Westbrook suddenly ran up from behind and jumped on An Jie's back.

　　 "Hey, you should be careful, our big Chinese man has entered the state." Westbrook pointed to the camera, as if to warn the entire league. This is the young man.

　　 "Russell, you performed well today. With teammates like Durant and Anjie, did you play very easily?

? "When Westbrook came to the door by himself, the reporter interviewed him "by the way."

"I only scored 17 points today, and the team won. Doesn't this highlight how good my two buddies are?" Westbrook also praised himself in a different way, 17 points, for one For the first-year rookies, it is already a not-low score.

　　 In addition to the winners of the Thunder, the Spurs' Duncan, Ginobili and **Vicci are naturally the focus of attention.

　　 "A very capable kid, he scored 24 points on my head, what else can I say?" A reporter asked Duncan how to evaluate An Jie's performance, and Shi Fo replied.

　　 "Tony's injury is not serious, it's just a normal sprain, and it didn't affect the bones and joints, but it will take a few more truces, and you have to wait for further examination results." The reporters around **Vicci are the most.

"Do you think that the foul that caused Tony's injury, An Jie was deliberate? Do you think the referee should call a malicious foul?" A rookie reporter thought he asked a very tricky question, but those who are familiar with **Vicci The reporter shook his head, this young man is still inexperienced.

　　 "Judging the type of foul is the referee's business. He thinks it is not a malicious foul, then it is not a malicious foul." **Vicci never refuses to answer a sensitive question, because his answer is the same as his refusal to answer.

　　 "Do you think the Spurs' lineup is really aging? You played very hard against the Thunder, which is the opposite of the Spurs' age structure. Will you change the team's current lineup?"

　　 "Old? You should ask the three little guys from the Thunder if they are tired from playing." **Vicci sneered at the question.

　　 Indeed, just antagonizing the 33-year-old old man, An Jie was also exhausted. The slow-paced Spurs feel more grueling than the fast-paced sun.

　　 The national broadcast of the game officially ended, and the Thunder showed their strength in this highly watched game.

Durant has 30 points, Anjie has 24 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Westbrook has 17 points. The data of these three people is absolutely outstanding. Now the entire league knows that the Thunder is a team that cannot be ignored. Disturbance stick, although they are now the bottom of the record, but many strong teams will also fall in such a potential team. The role played by the Thunder is to disrupt the entire league structure.

　　 "Okay boy, I didn't shame me, the Spurs were won by you." Divac didn't have time to watch the live broadcast now. He only learned about the Thunder's defeat of the Spurs the next day when he saw the news in the newspaper.

"Hey, the commentators don’t mention your name less now. How are you?" An Jie asked with concern. The last time I talked with Divac on the phone was half a month ago. The team has just changed coaches.

"It's not easy to be an official. I originally wanted to be a politician leisurely after retiring. I didn't know that I was just a humanitarian consultant, so I was about to fall apart." Divac was helpless. Leaning on his valuable calf leather office chair, he couldn't help pressing his temple while looking at the piles of papers on the desk.

　　 "Hey, let's go back to the basketball court and continue to be my coach." Although An Jie said this as a joke, in his heart he really wanted the old demon to continue to be his mentor.

"Come on, even Duncan and Yao Ming have played against each other. What can my bad old man teach you? You have learned the trick very thoroughly." When it comes to diving, Divac haha I laughed, my nature is hard to change

　　 After defeating the mighty Spurs, Jeff Van Gundy and his players continued to use actions to tell the world that they are not just passing meteors.

　　 On December 16, the Thunder played back-to-back against the Los Angeles Clippers. As a team with the powerful Los Angeles Lakers in the same city, the weak Clippers have been dubbed the Los Angeles second team by fans.

　　 This title was not sent to the door for no reason, 6 wins and 17 losses, this record is worse than the Thunder that has experienced ten consecutive defeats.

　　Although the Clippers have been very active this summer, they have the newly traded and strong power forward Zach Randolph, dual guard Byron Davis, and experienced center Marcus.

Cousc is comparable, and this year's seventh overall rookie Eric Gordon, on paper, the Clippers lineup is not bad.

　　 These few people, it seems that they have not been screwed together. Their data is good to look at separately, but when they are put together on a team, they have been unable to produce a chemical reaction.

　　Finally, after experiencing the baptism of a duel with the Spurs, the Thunder beat the Los Angeles Clippers 98-88.

　　 Zach Randolph still failed to get rid of the team's malignant reputation. He only used the offense to scan the data, while the defensive end was a black hole.

　　 He let Wilcox, who came off the bench, scored 13 points easily and let Westbrook's breakthrough go smoothly.

　　 Although Zach Randolph scored a game-high 25 points, Durant's 23 points, Westbrook's 22 points and Anjie's 19 points allowed the Thunder to take away the victory.

　　 Four-game winning streak, this result has tied the Thunder’s most winning streak this season, but facing the Toronto Raptors, who have been in poor condition recently, the Thunder seem to have no plans to stop their winning streak.

　　 In this game, "Dragon King" Bosh played well. His large double-double with 22 points and 16 rebounds made him worthy of the domineering nickname "Dragon King". But apart from Bosh, the Raptors only scored in double figures with the No. 1 pick Andrea Bargnani in 2006~www.NovelMTL.com~ As for everyone else, Spanish defender Calderon’s 8 points are already the highest. .

　　 The Raptors are in such a bad state. If the Thunder can't grasp such an opportunity, they are destined to be condemned by God.

　　 83 to 91, the Thunder ushered in the season's longest five-game winning streak at home in a high-profile manner!

　　 However, Anjie played a little abnormally in this game. His 4 mistakes made Jeff Van Gundy roar again and again off the court. He was only 5 of 12 shots, and his 41 shooting percentage made him questioned by the media.

"In the face of Bosh and Bargnani, the Thunder's 12th overall pick clearly showed their shortcomings. If it weren't for the super offensive capabilities of Westbrook and Durant, this It’s impossible for a center to win such an inflated stat in the Thunder’s hotbed!" The reporter, Dorsey, made a ruthless comment and criticized An Jie. The Chinese made himself embarrassed before the live broadcast. He has always held a grudge. .

　　 has a lot more games than that. In 82 games, only an old goblin like Duncan can maintain stability. An Jie is just a rookie, so far he has performed perfectly. Jeff Van Gundy didn't worry about An Jie's state at all. Van Gundy was very pleased to see An Jie who forced himself to practice 1,000 shots after that game.

　　 In any case, the Thunder's five-game winning streak still kept them out of the ranks of the big team, 10 wins and 13 losses, temporarily ranked tenth in the West. The Thunder's strong momentum undoubtedly exceeded everyone's expectations. To be continued.
